Hey!!! I was wondering, how do you work? I mean your art looks very scratchy and I love how do you show depth! Your art really inspires me.

I'm really curious what brushes do you use and how do you achieve this effect on your art?

thank you for the answer and your stunning work! love you and your art

Hello, im so sorry that it took me so long to answer - i was extremely busy with two of my universities this autumn :(

Firstly, thank you very much for your words; they really help me to get through a difficult period of life and knowing that i inspire someone really motivates me 🤍

I generally use the first brush for everything - scetching, lining and rendering; if i understand you correctly, this is the scratchy feeling on my art, and i make it by using thin strokes on the form - imitating a pencil work with forms in traditional art in the points of attention + on the light, and do more generalized situation in the shadow. i also use second brush in certain points sometimes

in my recent works i also began using some textured brushes 3 and 4 more intensely; here they are:

(upd: i noticed that i used the wrong pictures for brushes 3 and 4. in your mind just just swap them)

And a bit of how my kitchen looks like on the exemple of grandpa: i start from depicting the idea in general forms to capture colors and composition, then i do lineart (unfortunately, i do not have a picture of just lineart), then i begin rendering.

I hope i answered your question! If not, then do not hesitate to ask, i will try to answer it sooner.

I'm so sad this blew down in the high winds, but one of my neighbor's redwood trees had an albino branch!

Even the wood was lighter. So pretty.

One of my favorite things about learning about traditional textiles is the little ghosts they left in the language. Of course the ghosts are there, now that I know to look for them. Once upon a time, half the population spent a majority of their day making textiles. Spinning, at the very least, has been a part of humanity since the Neanderthals. That kind of knowledge doesn't just disappear.

A heckle was a device with sharp metal spikes, and people drag flax through the spikes to separate out the fibers from the chaff. When you say someone heckled a performer, you think you are being literal but you're speaking in an ancient metaphor.

When my grandpa says "spinning yarns" to mean telling stories, he knows that one's not quite literal, but its vividness is lost to him. There is no image in his mind of rhythm, muscle memory, and the subtle twist that aligns clouds of fibers into a single, strong cord.

When a fanfic writer describes someone carding their fingers through someone's hair, that's the most discordant in my mind. Carding is rough, and quick, and sometimes messy (my wool is full of debris, even after lots of washing). The teeth of my cards are densely packed and scratchy. But maybe that's my error, not the writer's. Before cards were invented, wool was combed with wide-toothed combs, and sometimes, in point of fact, with fingers. The verb "to card" (from Middle English) may actually be older than the tools I use, archaic as they are. And I say may, because I can't find a definitive history. People forget, even when the language remembers.
